'Til Death Do Us Blart is an annual podcast which centres around the hosts watching and reviewing Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 once a year for the rest of time. The show has been running since 2015, with new episodes released every American Thanksgiving. [1] [2]
The current hosts are Tim Batt and Guy Montgomery of The Worst Idea of All Time plus Justin, Travis and Griffin McElroy of My Brother, My Brother and Me . Each have chosen others to replace them in the event of their deaths and those future hosts will do the same, meaning the podcast should theoretically continue forever. [3]
The premise is an escalation of Batt and Montgomery's The Worst Idea of All Time, which originally involved watching the same film once a week for a year. [4]
In April 2020, due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, a bonus episode was released in which the hosts watched and reviewed the first Paul Blart: Mall Cop . [5]
The Guardian commented "this single-minded and giddily in-jokey podcast from the makers of the popular comedy advice pod My Brother, My Brother and Me. Since 2015, the trio – plus New Zealand comedians Tim Batt and Guy Montgomery – have spent Thanksgiving rewatching Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2, Paul Blart: Mall Cop's even less illustrious sequel, before reconvening to (re)discuss the intricacies and idiocies of one of the most derided films of the century." [6]
Matt Miller, of Esquire, praised the podcast in a review, and concluded, "If one of the hosts should die, they pass this curse on to someone else. And it's a curse I'd gladly take—I'll be listening to the podcast until the end of linear time anyway." [3]
